Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
The answer would be (-7x+8), the -1 basically means to switch the symbols
1 d=24
2 m=60
3 y=y(365)
4 x=x(50.10)
5 n=n(2500)
6 1+1=2
Answer:
x= 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
you left out the other lengths but since i had this same question once, the other lengths are 12 and 2-
dimensions of the box:
12 in x 2 in x ?
=272 square inches
and we know that there are 6 faces
area= 2 *(12 * 2) + 2 *(2*x) + 2 *(12*x)
area = 272 sq. in. = 48 + 4x + 24x
272 = 48 + 28x
272 - 48 = 28x
224 = 28x
x = 8 inches
good luck :)
i hope this helps
brainliest would be highly appreciated
have a nice day!
